(Pocket Chart Method)

To use this behavior chart, purchase blank library pockets or cut out a square of cardstock for each child. Write each child’s name on the pocket and staple to a poster board or bulletin board. (If cutting out a square of cardstock for each child, staple it on the bottom and on the sides to create a pocket for each child). Print out one of each color of behavior card for each child. Put a set of cards in each child’s pocket with the red card on the bottom, then the yellow card, then green and then blue. Each child will start the day with the blue card showing. If they do not behave appropriately, they take out the blue card and move it to the back of the pocket. The green card is now showing and the child receives a consequence (for example, a verbal warning). If the child makes another poor choice, they move the green card to the back of the pocket. The yellow card is now showing and the child receives a consequence (for example, a time out). If the child makes yet another poor choice, the yellow card is moved to the back of the pocket so that the red card now shows. The child receives the final consequence (for example, a call to parents). An extra, positive card and warning step card have been provided to offer choice for the teacher. For example, if a child’s behavior is exceptional, she can be given an orange card to put in her pocket chart and receive a positive consequence.

(Clip Chart Method)

To use this behavior chart, copy the large cards on tag and laminate together to make a large chart. Print or make a label of each student’s name and attach to a clothespin. Place all of the pins on blue. Have students move clips as behavior changes as explained previously.
